Chapter 17: Sealing the Heart
Emperor Jianning gritted his teeth, looking at the palace maids who were the most loyal to him on weekdays, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and he shouted angrily, "Two sticks, go and get it yourself." ”
Ning Xiao raised his head and shouted in surprise, "Your Majesty ......"
Two sticks, if you don't die, you will also remove a layer of skin.
Ning Shi stretched out her hand and smiled, kowtowed and went out. It's just two sticks, and if the false decree is revealed, they will die.
Ning Shi smiled and lowered her head and went out to receive the punishment, and Emperor Jianning turned around and returned to the Qingxin Palace.
When half a cup of tea was held, Lu Shi came in from outside, lowered his head and said to Emperor Jianning, who looked gloomy, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yu and ...... Princess Zhaoyue asks to see her. ”
Hearing the word Zhaoyue, Emperor Jianning's dark face was full of anger. He slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said angrily to Lu Shi, "Let them go back to the palace and stay." ”
Lu Zhi's body shook, said yes again and again, and withdrew in a panic.
In the Fengyang Palace, after Wen Qing finished feeding Ye Tingfeng and ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge, he asked tentatively, "Master, do you want to go out and sit for a while?" The weather was nice today. ”
Hearing the words of the maple at night, he looked out the window, the bright sunlight shone on the leaves of the bushes, and the pieces were as clear as emeralds, flashing so that he couldn't open his eyes.
Trembling, Ye Tingfeng's face became transparent.
"Master, the slave is going to ask the imperial doctor to come and show you?" Q Qing asked again and again.
As he spoke, Yao Yuan walked in from the outside, and the sunlight shone through the flower-shaped patterns on the window on his royal blue eunuch suit, undulating as he walked.
Standing in front of Ye Tingfeng, Yao Yuan said softly, "Master, the emperor ordered someone to blame Ning Shi Ning Laughing Stick." ”
I heard Kaede hum softly.
"Master, the emperor stayed in Guanju Palace last night...... Yao Yuan said again.
"Yao Yuan......" Ye Tingfeng interrupted Yao Yuan's words and said, "You have been in the palace for many years, have you ever thought of going out?" ”
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment and fell silent.
He is a eunuch, what else can he do when he leaves the palace?
"Can you let Wen Qing out?" Ye Tingfeng looked at the surprised Qian Qing, and said to Yao Yuan, "Do you have the connections to send her out?" ”
Wen Qing knelt on the ground, looked at Ye Tingfeng and asked in a panic, "Master, slave, what did the slave do wrong?" Or is it the slave who upsets you......"
"Nope." Ye Tingfeng wrapped his knees, looked at Wen Qing and provoked a light smile at the corner of his mouth, "You are very good, but it is not good in this palace, you will become the second incense picker here sooner or later, I thought selfishly, it is better to let you out of the palace, marry an honest man, and live a good life." ”
Wen Qing shook her head again and again, her eyes showed firmness, "Master, the slave and maid are not out of the palace, where you are, the slave and maid are there." ”
"It's really stupid......" Ye Feng sighed lightly and said to Yao Yuan, "Yao Yuan, change all the minions in Fengyang Palace." ”
"Master." Yao Yuan also knelt down, and it took him a lot of work to gather this group of loyal minions, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no wood to burn." Ye Tingfeng put his head on his arm and said to Yao Yuan, "I have encountered a hurdle that I can't get over now, and I want to spare your life." You replace them now, and they'll be faithful to me again when I roll over. If you don't change it, I'm afraid of ......"
Listening to Feng at night, he said it lightly, but Yao Yuan's heart was stirring up a shocking wave. He looked at Ye Tingfeng for a long time, and after making sure that Ye Tingfeng was not panicking, he kowtowed to Ye Tingfeng and said, "Master, slave, slave do what you say." It's just that the minions and the little grain won't go. ”
Ye Ting Feng frowned slightly, and the back of his head suddenly chilled. Not wanting to think about the problem anymore, she said to Yao Yuan, "Whatever you want, I'll go to sleep." ”
Wen Qing hurriedly stood up and helped Ye Tingfeng into the dormitory.
Lying on the bed, I heard Feng open his eyes at night, without a trace of sleepiness, only feeling cold on his body. Ming Wenqing boiled a bowl of tranquilizer before falling asleep deeply.
When I woke up again, it was already sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the clouds, forming large expanses of fiery clouds.
Ye Tingfeng sat on the rocking chair at the entrance of the hall, looking at the changing clouds in the sky, and his heart drifted away.
She has no love for this place, and she has to plan for it early......
Wen Qing glanced at the entrance of the courtyard, raised her hand and touched Ye Tingfeng's shoulder.
Ye Tingfeng lowered his head and saw Emperor Jianning walking into the courtyard of Fengyang Hall with the afterglow of the setting sun.
His eyes tightened, and Ye Tingfeng felt that there was a place in his heart that was stirring, and the pain was terrible.
Holding Wen Qing's hand to get up, Ye Tingfeng walked in front of Emperor Jianning and bent his knees, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
Standard palace etiquette, soft attitude, the head of the mantis leans forward slightly, revealing the white back of the neck.
The person in front of her is no longer the Wan Yanzhe who fell in love, and she no longer has the right to be willful.
She lowered her head slightly, as docile and humble as any concubine of Emperor Jianning.
Emperor Jianning clenched his fists and walked towards the palace at the side of Ye Tingfeng.
Hearing that Feng did not move at night, Emperor Jianning thought for a moment that there was another person in the Fengyang Palace.
But no, there was no one behind him.
After looking at Xu Xuan, Emperor Jianning found that Ye Tingfeng's gaze fell on patches of burning clouds.
The fiery clouds were reflected in the fiery red of the setting sun, and shone on the white face of the night maple, as if the fine peach rouge had been used.
Sitting down in the rocking chair, Emperor Jianning watched the night and listened to Feng standing there watching the fire burn the clouds. Until the sun goes down completely, and the fiery clouds on the horizon turn gray.
Ye Tingfeng's pink eyes also turned gray, but he still stared at the sky.
"You went to the Pure Heart Hall yesterday to look for me, but something happened?" Emperor Jianning asked.
He didn't want to believe that he had heard Feng go to the Qingxin Hall at night, just to take a peek at the song.
Ye Tingfeng blinked his eyes, and reacted in his mind for a while, and understood the meaning of Emperor Jianning's words.
Squinting her eyes, she couldn't remember what she was going to do in the Pure Heart Temple.
"You're so unwilling to talk to me?" Emperor Jianning walked to Ye Tingfeng's side, and when he saw Ye Tingfeng close his eyes, he gritted his teeth awkwardly.
Seeing that the two were about to talk about to collapse again, Wen Qing hurriedly asked on the side, "Your Majesty, but pass on the meal?" ”
"Passing ......"
Ye Tingfeng opened his eyes and followed Wen Qing into the dining room.
Emperor Jianning followed, his eyes locked on Ye Tingfeng.
Ye Tingfeng's dress is very simple, dressed in an aqua blue palace dress, his hair is not tied up, and he is casually draped over his shoulders, from head to toe, he does not wear a piece of jewelry, not even a pair of earrings.
Similarly, the phoenix pendant that hung around his waist all day was gone, and the willow leaf concentric purse was gone. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Tingfeng's wrist, and the jade bracelet that should have been worn there was gone.
Ye Tingfeng looked at his clenched wrists, blinking his eyes and being stunned.
Emperor Jianning's hand was clenched, and when he heard Feng in pain, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Jianning in confusion.
When Emperor Jianning's anger fell into her slow brain, she asked in a daze, "What are you angry about?" ”
At this time, the two of them had already sat down, and Wen Qing had already laid out the dishes and chopsticks in front of her. Ye Tingfeng asked the white jade bowl and silver chopsticks in front of him, "What are you angry about?" ”
Emperor Jianning went to take the spoon for a moment, and said with a cold face, "I'm not angry." ”
After saying that, he scooped a spoonful of soup and sent it to Ye Tingfeng's lips, and after waiting for a while to see Ye Tingfeng drink, Emperor Jianning withdrew his hand and put down the spoon.
Ye Tingfeng saw that he was led by Wen Qing to sit down, and there were dishes and chopsticks in front of him. Something sounded in his ear, and then a soup spoon was handed to his mouth.
Subconsciously opened his mouth, but what he could suck was air.
The cold air at the entrance made Ye Tingfeng's heart startled, and his wandering thoughts finally returned. She looked at the dishes in front of her, and secretly laughed at herself for fantasizing that Emperor Jianning fed her soup, as before.
Reach out and pick up the silver chopsticks, and listen to the tasteless meal of maple food at night.
Emperor Jianning didn't move, watching Ye Tingfeng finish eating a plate of vegetarian fried tofu in front of him without joy or anger.
Putting the warm soup in front of Ye Tingfeng, Emperor Jianning said coldly, "Drink the soup." ”
The soup bowl collided with the tabletop, making a soft 'bang'.
Ye Tingfeng raised his head, and what caught his eye was Emperor Jianning's face without a trace of smile.
She picked up the spoon and went to drink the soup in front of her. As soon as the soup was in his mouth, a feeling of nausea rose in his stomach for no reason, and he tilted his head and vomited it to one side.
Emperor Jianning's face became even more gloomy.
Ye Tingfeng saw the anger on Emperor Jianning's body, wiped the corners of his mouth with the hem of his sleeve, picked up the soup bowl and drank it all.
Emperor Jianning slammed the table, got up, and strode away.
Wen Qing ran in from outside with an anxious expression, looked at Ye Tingfeng who was sitting there with an indifferent expression and asked, "Master, you, you and the emperor ......"
"I don't know." Ye Tingfeng shook his head slightly, clutched his chest and spit out the soup he had drunk.
She didn't know anything, she refused to think about anything.
If you don't want to, it won't hurt, and if you don't want to, she's an outsider.
Listening to Feng at night, I sealed my heart. “
Listening to Kaede's life at night, there has not changed in the slightest. She is still Mrs. Zhaoyue in the Fengyang Palace, but Emperor Jianning has rarely stepped into the Fengyang Palace again.
Emperor Jianning has been going a lot in recent days, and it is the newly sealed Miao Niangzi and Shui Beauty.
Miao Niangzi is very good, and what she is best at is carrying a wrist stone weighing nearly half a kilogram on her right wrist, holding a wolf and waving it on rice paper to write an authentic face.
The strength of the pen is much stronger than that of a man who straddles a horse and carries a knife.
When the wrist stone is removed, Miao Niangzi can dance like a jade finger cut from green onions, and play a heavenly sound on the guzheng.
Compared with Miao Niangzi, the water beauty has three points less talent, but five points more gentleness. Her personality is as her name suggests, warm as water, and the concubines who have been in contact with her all say that the water beauty is a rare beauty like water.
Compared to these two, Lan Liang is not enough. Lanliang is mainly soft and charming, but her softness can't get into the eyes of Emperor Jianning.
In addition, Lanliang is arrogant, and he is not liked.
Emperor Jianning did not favor Lan Liangren, but Lan Liang was unwilling in his heart. It's just that Queen Qin can be the queen, why did Qin Ruoshui, a concubine who was inferior to her everywhere when she was in the Qin Mansion, enter the palace and press on her head?
Therefore, she acted more arrogantly.
On February 15 of the fourth year of Jianning, Lan Liangren and Wen Chongyuan, who had just raised his body, met in the imperial garden, and after a sharp tongue, Wen Chongyuan punished Lan Liangren to kneel beside the blue leaf pool in the imperial garden for three hours.
The people of Lanliang knelt under the scorching sun from the morning to the afternoon. When the hour came, before the palace maid could help her stand up, she tilted her head and fainted.
Lan Liangren, who had suffered from heat stroke, did not recuperate in his palace after waking up, but ran to the Guanju Palace crying and complained to Queen Qin.
The pregnant Queen Qin's face was pale with anger, and her lower abdomen twitched with a dull pain.
She was angry and didn't know how to be lazy, and confronted Wen Chongyuan, who was higher than her, in public. Erqi Wen Chongyuan did not take her, a country, in his eyes.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the master's face, even if Emperor Jianning doesn't like Lan Liangren anymore, Lan Liangren is also her sister of Queen Qin.
Before the matter of Lan Liangren and Wen Chongyuan was over, Lan Liangren turned around and met Mrs. Yu's cousin on a narrow road outside Jianzhang Palace.
Lady Jade's cousin is the fourth princess. Because her identity has not yet been decided, she has a veil on her face.
Lan Liangren saw that a woman with no position could walk around the harem at will, so he was naturally unhappy, so he found trouble with the fourth princess......
These disputes in the harem, Ye Tingfeng no longer cares.
She spent the day looking at the blue sky outside the palace to see when the carrier pigeon she flew to Wu Yue would return.
She asked Wu Yue to take her out of the palace, she just wanted to stay away from this place now, and go anywhere.
Ye Tingfeng originally wanted to use Yao Yuan's relationship to get out of the palace, but after Yao Yuan dredged up his contacts, he told Ye Tingfeng that it was okay to send the palace maid out of the palace, but it would have to wait for the next year.
It's only March now, and Ye Tingfeng can't think of nine months.
Wu Yue became her last hope.
But she waited for three days in a row, but Wu Yue never replied.
On February 17 of the fourth year of Jianning, after breakfast, the people of Fengming Palace moved the rocking chair to the tree with peach blossoms and continued to wait for the carrier pigeon.
Litmus came back from outside the courtyard, stood behind Ye Tingfeng and blessed, and said, "Master, she won't go......"
Ye Tingfeng raised his willow eyebrows slightly, turned around and asked, "Why?" ”
"She said she didn't have a chance." Litmus replied.
"No chance?" Ye Tingfeng lay back in the rocking chair and let out a long sigh, "Let her go." ”
Everyone has ambitions, and if Zhiliu doesn't say that she can't find a chance to get out of the palace, she can't force it.
She always felt that asking Qingqing, knowing the willows, and picking incense were all hard, and if there was a glimmer of life to escape from this cage, she was willing to take them.
Looking at the peach blossoms falling in front of him, he listened to Feng say to Litmus, "Go get pen and ink." ”
After litmus got back the pen and ink, Ye Tingfeng wrote a letter to Wu Yue again, this time, there were only three words on the letter, take me away.
Ye Tingfeng climbed on the highest roof of the Fengyang Palace, carefully held the ridge, raised his right hand, and released the snow-white carrier pigeon in his hand.
The carrier pigeon flapped its wings, made a 'pop' and 'pop' sound, and flew in the direction of the viewing pavilion, and after a while, it was hidden in the trees.
Ye Tingfeng carefully sat down on the roof, breathing in the air from above, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Wen Qing and Yao Yuan stood in the courtyard of Fengyang Palace, looking at the blue skirt of the maple water in the night, and their hearts trembled.
Wen Qing tiptoed and said, "Master, come down, the sun is ...... today."
Yao Yuan waved his hand to Xiao Guzi on the side, "Go to the ladder quickly......"
Before Xiao Guzi's ladder could be raised, a group of eunuchs dressed in dark purple eunuch suits ran in from outside. Without the obstruction of Advisor Qing and Yao Yuan, he went straight to the pigeon cage in the corner of the side hall of Fengyang Palace.
Nearly fifty pigeons were frightened and flew around, making a high-pitched 'cooing' sound. In a few moments, a eunuch who knew pigeons distinguished a gray carrier pigeon from among the fifty pigeons.
Headed by the eunuch with a black mole on the side of his nose, he carried the carrier pigeon, and said to the little eunuchs on his side with a sharp voice, "Surround the Fengyang Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the emperor's order." ”
"Where's Lady Zhaoyue?" The eunuch asked Yao Yuan and Wen Qing in a shrill voice.
Wen Qing's face was pale and she kept her mouth shut. Yao Yuan also lowered his head, not knowing what to ask.
After the eunuch snorted coldly, he took the pigeon and left with a few little eunuchs.
The courtyard door of Fengyang Hall squeaked and was shut. In the yard, the frightened pigeons were still flying around, white and gray feathers.
Ye Tingfeng sat on the top of the hall, looking down at himself and looking up, Yao Yuan and Wen Qing smiled lightly with a frightened face.
It seems that the intercepted carrier pigeon was not released by her, and the sealed palace is not hers.
Coming down from the top of the temple, he listened to the dust on the side of his nose and went into the dormitory to sleep.
When she was woken up by a loud noise, Wen Qing said to her with a pale face that the pigeon marks on the high place of Fengyang Hall had been pulled down.
Ye Tingfeng nodded lightly when she heard this, knowing that even if Wu Yue agreed to take her away, she would not be able to leave.
The carrier pigeon fell, all relying on the guidance of the pigeon mark, now the carrier pigeon is gone, the pigeon mark is gone, she no longer has a way to contact Wu Yue.
At night, Emperor Jianning came to Fengyang Hall with the note written by Ye Tingfeng himself.
Hearing that Feng had already bathed and gone to bed, she opened her eyes and saw Emperor Jianning, whose face was as cold as frost, walking to her bed step by step.
Then, throwing the note in front of her, the cold voice asked, "So, you want to escape?" ”
Ye Tingfeng sat up, looked at the note and nodded slightly, and his long warm hair slid down from his rounded shoulders and hung down on his chest.
She reached for the note and looked at the handwriting as if it were the first time she saw it.
Emperor Jianning stretched out his hand to hold Ye Tingfeng's wrist, not controlling his strength at all.
Ye Tingfeng has been raising pigeons for a long time, a year ago, or two years ago, he can't remember it anymore. He only remembered that every time he stayed in Fengyang Palace, he would be woken up in the early morning by the 'cooing' of pigeons.
He thought that Ye Tingfeng liked it, so he followed her wishes. But he never thought that the pigeons in this Fengyang Hall would be mixed with carrier pigeons, and they were suitable for long travel.
The carrier pigeons in the Fengyang Hall have become evidence that Ye Tingfeng is meticulous once again.
Ye Tingfeng pulled back his hand that was held painfully, frowned and said softly, "It hurts." ”
She looked up and saw that Emperor Jianning was already furious. She no longer struggled to pull back the hand that was being held painfully, and Emperor Ren Jianning just held it and silenced it.
"Do you think I'll watch a small work escape from the palace?"
Ye Tingfeng shook his head, with Emperor Jianning's cold means, he must have found out the people behind the scenes. Then, all of them were captured, and no piece of armor remained.
At that time, he will be thrown into prison and await execution.
"So, don't try to escape." Emperor Jianning gritted his teeth, shook off Ye Tingfeng's hand, and said, "Otherwise, ......"
Ye Tingfeng nodded, proving that he heard. She curled up and lay down, hugging her bruised wrists to her chest, and said, "I'm not running......
As he spoke, he closed his eyes tightly and didn't look at Emperor Jianning with a cold face.
Suddenly, his body sank, and when he opened his eyes, horror appeared in his eyes. She shook Emperor Jianning's hand to untie her clothes, and her already pale face became transparent.
